Last year, I fine-tuned a 7B parameter model with standard LoRA. It worked, but accuracy was 5% lower than full fine-tuning. After experimenting with Multi-LoRA, LoRA+, and advanced techniques, I’ve achieved 98% of full fine-tuning performance with 1% of the parameters. Here’s everything you need to know about advanced LoRA techniques. Figure 1: LoRA Techniques […]

Fine-Tuning vs RAG: A Comprehensive Decision Framework
Last year, I faced a critical decision: fine-tune our LLM or implement RAG? We chose fine-tuning. It was expensive, time-consuming, and didn’t solve our core problem. After building 20+ LLM applications, I’ve learned when to use each approach. Here’s the comprehensive decision framework that will save you months of work. Figure 1: Fine-Tuning vs RAG […]
